We’re home after tonight’s outing. Bill dropped me off at church for rehearsal and he went to the grocery store. Evidently I scared him tonight. On the way home he said, “I don’t like you being this quiet. And you aren’t even knitting!” He wanted to know if I’m all right. I said, “I am and I’m not.” A good definitive answer, right? 
“What does that mean?” you ask. I don’t know. I just had a good case of the blahs today.
I discovered I can’t make the wall hanging for Bill’s mother as planned because she doesn’t have enough wall space. This is a panel with the Serenity Prayer on it that I got last year while visiting Wanda. Then, of course, I had to play the piano instead of keyboard tonight. When I sat down at the piano there for the first time, I discovered the bench sits low so I wasn’t seeing the music through the right place in my glasses. As I looked through the music, there was one sheet with words only….no chords, no melody. Jeff quickly substituted a hand scribbled copy of the first verse with the notes and chords. My blahs were deepening by the minute.
We finished at 8:30 and I went out to meet Bill. He wasn’t there yet but arrived just as I borrowed Wava’s cell phone to call him. After we got home and put the groceries away I snacked on fancy cheese we bought the other day with garlic and herb crackers, some delicious sweet strawberries Bill bought at the fruit stand, and some huckleberry bark. Yummy!
I spent today working on the cross stitch bear with its flute. Having worked off an on all day I still haven’t finished the three colors of the red shirt. Nothing on the agenda for tomorrow at this point so I can get back to work on it. Meantime, I need to see if I can come up with any written music for this one song for Sunday. So I’m seeking to recognize this “lion” in my life as an opportunity as described in tonight’s thought.
Remember in the Old Testament that while David was guarding his sheep "there came a lion?" In God's strength he defeated it, plus a bear, and later he overthrew the giant Goliath. Now that lion was just opportunity in disguise. If David had wavered or run, he'd have missed his chance to become king of Israel. So when a lion comes into your life recognize it for what it is: an opportunity from God - and stand up to it! - Bob Gass Ministries
